Dermatologist 's  Response
According to your history it seems both your kids are suffering from fungal infection. You should keep their soap and towel separate, make them wear loose cotton clothes and keep them in cool airy environment. You can start with application of terbinafine cream on theses raised circles twice daily for 2 weeks and then get back to me for follow up.
